Re: [Simple-support] "class" attribute on parsing legacy xml

[<Nia...@ub...>]

Hi,

You do not even need to use CycleStrategy. Use the TreeStrategy if you
like, and make sure the usual class label is named to something else.
For example

Strategy strategy = new TreeStrategy("className", "arrayLength");
Serializer serializer = new Persister(strategy) 

For now ignore "arrayLength" it is simply the name of the attribute to
use when specifying the length of an array when it is serialized. Here
the "className" attribute given the the actual class used for the
element. So for example your serialized XML might look like this.

<root className="fr.smile.SomeClass">
	<data>some data</data>
</root>

Here the serialization class name will not conflict with existing
"class" attributes any more.

Regards,
Niall

Subject: [Simple-support] "class" attribute on parsing legacy xml

Hello,

I'm having difficulty reading an existing Xml file with "class" 
attribute.   The issue was mentionned by someone else on this list, and 
Niall's answer was to use CycleStrategy, but I can't figure out how.
